That works if the logs are still available, but they get deleted after a 
while. The script that is used on the buildbot is available here: 
<https://github.com/macports/macports-infrastructure/tree/master/jobs>

So you can check that out and run it locally as well. The script to 
execute is port_binary_distributable.tcl, which also requires 
distributable_lib.tcl to be present.
